Karan Johar Rather Have Fawad Khan Than Ranbir

Karan Johar’s public admittance of his preference for Fawad Khan over Ranbir Kapoor may not be music to the ears of many, but the director reveals why.

In a chat session with Neha Dhupia, the 44-year-old producer was asked who was his favourite of the two actors in his latest Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, to which the filmmaker replied, “I am going to go with Fawad.”

“He’s the new novelty and Ranbir knows I am going to go with Fawad,” the Koffee with Karan host justified.

Unfortunately, Fawad Khan is not around to bask in this limelight as he had headed back to Pakistan after the IMPPA, following the killing of 19 Indian soldiers in Uri, imposed a temporary ban on all Pakistani actors working in Indian cinema.
